My body actually Fights sleep and i dont want it in my life anymore..My Father was a pretty bad methadrine addict. Whether this is a factor i do not know..the rare times i do fall asleep for a bit, its always short..less than 2 hours and soon as i open my eyes, i hit the ground running...not normal...I sleepwalk and have burt myself several times.  I run into walls, fall down in all directions, I need sleep for my health..im older now..none of the meds work..not trzdne..not srql..rmrn..just to name a few...there waz a couple times i did get groggy  prob from exhauztion...but i wake up less tban 2 bours later ALWAYS,,,I have insurance...got my SS early with my medicare but im also on a fixed..so alot of xtra $ to pursue this just isnt avaliable...Decent health ins though.i now live in Fl. Wbat should i do   where do i begin.  I cant live like this anymore...im not effective at life anymore like when i was younger..My BP is high..my legs always idleing...1000 thoughts always racing thru my head...Im tired...but cant sleep.  Im the worst case ive ever seen!
And im not just saying that...Ideas?...Suggestions?   ...Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Start with your primary care doc to be sure you're addressing any known medical conditions.  Ask for a referral to an MD who specializes in sleep. Good luck.
